In each dimension of the form $4n-1$ with $n\geq 3$, we construct infinitely many new examples of manifolds admitting metrics with positive sectional curvature almost everywhere. In addition, we show that if $n\geq 6$, infinitely many of…
Starting from any unital colored PROP $P$, we define a category $P(P)$ of shapes called $P$-propertopes. Presheaves on $P(P)$ are called $P$-propertopic sets. For $0 \leq n \leq \infty$ we define and study $n$-time categorified $P$-algebras…
Geometry of manifolds with positive sectional curvature has been a central object dates back to the beginning of Riemannian geometry. Up to homeomorphism, there are only finitely many examples of simply connected positively curved manifolds…
There has been a lot of interests in Positive Mass Theorems for singular metrics on smooth manifolds. We prove a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat (AF) spin manifolds with isolated conical singularities or more generally horn…
It is well known that positivity properties of the curvature of a vector bundle have implications on the algebro-geometric properties of the bundle, such as numerical positivity, vanishing of higher cohomology leading to existence of global…
This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…
Many examples of nonpositively curved closed manifolds arise as blow-ups of projective hyperplane arrangements. If the hyperplane arrangement is associated to a finite reflection group W, and the blow-up locus is W-invariant, then the…
From the work of Phong and Sturm in 2007, for a polarised projective manifold and an ample test configuration, one can associate the geodesic ray of plurisubharmonic metrics on the polarising line bundle using the solution of the…
We explicitly construct K-theoretic and elliptic stable envelopes for certain moduli spaces of vortices, and apply this to enumerative geometry of rational curves in these varieties. In particular, we identify the quantum difference…
Local normal form theorems for smooth equivariant maps between infinite-dimensional manifolds are established. These normal form results are new even in finite dimensions. The proof is inspired by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for…
Cosmological polytopes of graphs are a geometric tool in physics to study wavefunctions for cosmological models whose Feynman diagram is given by the graph. After their recent introduction by Arkani-Hamed, Benincasa and Postnikov the focus…
We study the homotopy type of the space of metrics of positive scalar curvature on high-dimensional compact spin manifolds. Hitchin used the fact that there are no harmonic spinors on a manifold with positive scalar curvature to construct a…
The moduli space of planar polygons with generic side lengths is a closed, smooth manifold. Mapping a polygon to its reflected image across the $X$-axis defines a fixed-point-free involution on these moduli spaces, making them into free…
We develop the structure theory of full isometry groups of locally compact non-positively curved metric spaces. Amongst the discussed themes are de Rham decompositions, normal subgroup structure and characterising properties of symmetric…
We study certain special tilting and cotilting modules for an algebra with positive dominant dimension, each of which is generated or cogenerated (and usually both) by projective-injectives. These modules have various interesting…
We extend the homotopy theories based on point reduction for finite spaces and simplicial complexes to finite acyclic categories and $\Delta$-complexes, respectively. The functors of classifying spaces and face posets are compatible with…
In this paper, we define the momentum amplituhedron in the four-dimensional split-signature space of dual momenta. It encodes scattering amplitudes at tree level and loop integrands for N=4 super Yang-Mills in the planar sector. In this…
Tame arrangements were informally introduced by Orlik and Terao for the study of Milnor fibers of hyperplane arrangements. After that, tame arrangements have been applied to a lot of researches on arrangements including freeness, master…
A (bounded) manifold of circular type is a complex manifold M of dimension n admitting a (bounded) exhaustive real function u, defined on M minus a point x_o, so that: a) it is a smooth solution on $M\setminus {x_o}$ to the Monge-Amp\`ere…
We study the vertices of the polytopes of all affine maps (a.k.a. hom-polytopes) between higher dimensional simplices, cubes, and crosspolytopes. Systematic study of general hom-polytopes was initiated in [3]. The study of such vertices is…
